Bansko

Bulgaria is gearing up for significant growth in winter tourism as the country prepares to open the new ski season in Bansko. The season's official kick-off was marked by a thrilling downhill run on the famous "Alberto Tomba" slope, drawing attention from sports enthusiasts and media alike.

It is natural for the villages near the big resorts to attract the interest of the buyers with their low prices. This is what the Executive Director of Bulgarian Property Agency Polina Stoykova said.

Bulgaria's largest ski resorts - Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo open this year's ski season on Saturday, reports the bTV national channel.

According to the information, this season the three resorts will keep the ski pass prices from last year, while the Tourism Ministry expects a 4-5% increase in number of tourists.

Bulgaria's Bansko is offering the best value to Britons looking for a family week away skiing this winter, a new survey has shown.
